they do a lot of things right offensively. 4th on mlb in avg and H. Don’t strike out a ton. But Not enough walks or HR.
the pitching problems would be less noticeable if their defense was merely average. We have the 4th worst BABIP allowed, which is an indicator of not being able to convert balls in play into outs. We are middle of the pack in HR/9.
The one thing that hangs the pitchers that's on them is they walk too many. Even in the good outings, like Fedde and Corbin the last time through the rotation, they are giving up a ridiculous amount of walks. Cincinnati is by far the worst, then comes the Nats at 4.09/9.
